B. DOOR PREPARATION
If using the installation jig to prepare the door, refer
to the instructions provided with the jig, then pro-
ceed with step 7.
B-1 Mark the handle height on the edge of the door,
as determined directly from the strike.
Lever Centerline=
Bottom Edge of Strike lip
The axis of rotation of the handle is level
with the bottom lip of the strike.
B-2 Align the template along the vertical
center line of the mortise (CL) at the
desired handle height, and tape it to
the door.
B-3 Mark all holes and cutouts for
the mortise in the edge of the
door and remove the template.
B-4 Locate the two sets of vertical fold
lines on the template allowing you to
adjust the positioning of the template
depending on the bevel of the door.
Note: Fold lines on template are for

conditions may make it necessary to
re-position the template for marking
each side of the door.
B-5 If the door has no bevel, fold the
template along the solid lines. Align
the fold with the edge of the door
and mark the holes for the lock.
Repeat on the other side of the door. If the door has a 3° bevel, fold and
align the dashed line marked "H" on the template with the higher-beveled
edge of the door and mark the lock holes on that side of the door. Repeat
on the side with the lower-beveled edge using the dashed line marked "L."

B-6 Prepare the cutout for the mortise in the edge of the door using a mortis-
ing machine, router and chisel (for dimensions, refer to template). Ensure
clearance is provided for moving latch parts as indicated on the template.
B-7 When making holes, drill from both sides of the door to prevent unsightly
damage (for dimensions, refer to template). Drill the small holes before
the large holes. This will keep small holes on location before the 2
are made tangent with them.
B-8 Check the bevel of the mortise
faceplate. If adjustment is
required, loosen the two bevel
screws (R) and adjust mortise
front plate angle to match the
bevel of the door.
B-9 Re-tighten screws.
B-10 Install the mortise with two 1"
Phillips screws (Q) provided.
B-11 Install mortise faceplate (P)
with the two 8-32 x
